The Rambler is an album by American country singer Johnny Cash, released on Columbia Records in 1977 (see 1977 in music). It is a concept album about travel. Between each song is dialogue between Cash and hitchhikers picked up or other people he meets during the album's cross-country trip. It is the last, and one of the few Johnny Cash albums to only feature songs written by Cash himself. It is also Cash's last concept album, and was included on the Bear Family box set Come Along and Ride this Train. The Rambler reached No. 31 on the country album charts; the two singles, "Lady" and "After the Ball", had minor chart success.
